I have installed the Java option while installing Mandrake 6.5 Problem is if I run the javac myfile.java command.. it gives an exception. What could be wrong ? Is the JDK included in the distribution ? And if I download a JDK from Blackdown, how can I make the 'javac' command in Mandrake works with the jdk which I downloaded ? thanks ______________________________________________________________________ Get Visto.com!
